There's an interesting YAPC talk about Perl usage that features some data
that calls what you are asserting into question. His data shows a
significant number of new (1-3 years) Perl devs.

FWIW Perl5 is back in TIOBE's top 10 with a growth rate exceeding that of
all but one of the other to 10 languages.

Perl is growing nicely.  It's just not the pre-eminent web language it once
was.  It seems to get mostly used for data munging and automation.
